Vita
Larry Yust was born in Philadelphia, grew up in the suburbs of New York and Chicago, graduated in theater from Stanford University, is married and has three children. He lives in Los Angeles where he works as a writer and director of motion pictures. He developed his process of "Photographic Elevations" in order to photograph Paris Metro Stations. His book, METRO, is published by Gingko Press.Yust makes his "Photographic Elevations" by walking or riding along the subject to be photographed on a line parallel to it, and shooting overlapping shots with his camera always aimed directly toward it. Yust then assembles the individual shots into a single image in a computer. The number of shots in one of his elevations ranges from ten to a hundred or more, depending on the length and complexity of the subject.
"Photographic Elevations" are not the same as panoramic shots (which are taken from a single point of view) in that wherever you look at the elevation, you are viewing the elements in it essentially straight on, seeing them with a minimum of distortion. It is a view that is impossible to achieve in nature, and therefore is one that provides a different way of looking at the world.
Yust has had one man shows at the LA County Museum of Science and Industry, the Fowler Museum at UCLA and the Louvre in Paris. His work is on permanent display at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.
